Translation…Last year we made a pretty big deal out of Halloween, and it was a lot of fun! This year we’re not doing much at all. It’s partly the mid-week timing, partly the bad weather, but mostly it’s work related issues that have completely sucked the energy out of me lately. We did buy some candy, though, but I am guessing we’ll be eating most of that ourselves. Until next year, when we’re hoping to make a come-back, happy Halloween!

Pictures from last week, when Adelaide and A came by and we went for a walk through the farm. Sandy took most of the leaves that were left last night, she also took our power briefly, but luckily our neighborhood was spared from trees falling into people, houses or cars. It also looks like the damages in TO are relatively minimal. Watching the storm unfold along the north eastern coast of the US on TV certainly puts things in perspective.

It’s always fun to travel, to see new places and do things you haven’t done before. However, it’s not so bad to be at home either. So far this weekend we’ve done a whole lot of nothing. It’s been raining non stop and M has made cinnabons. It’s been lovely. I like keeping this balance between home and away.

A break at the historic Grand Café with my mom, sister and uncle. Since all our birthdays fall pretty close to each other, we decided to celebrate with a delicious cake buffet. The picture of all of us was taken by a very eager waiter!
